is this unit capable of turning the stabilization on and off while in flight? if so how is that accomplished?

No it is not capable of turning off in flight, unless you have it switched.

Yes! You can plug it into a free channel on your transmitter. Ideally it should be one controlled by a 3 position switch, for heading lock mode, Off, and normal stabilizing mode. I however only have a 2 position and a dial, so I use the dial to control the mode.

You can refine the settings to a neutral position . I.E. If the copter tilts when the controls are centered you can "trim" the controls so that the center = a neutral setting

Can. In Elite Dangerous it operates as a Throttle as that's what whatever system detects the joystick flags it as. I disabled stick throttle as it was an unknown vector in my gameplay.

Yes, once the pilot is lit, the temperature control turns the unit on or off base on the chosen setting.

Your question is too general for a simple "Yes/No" answer. I assume you are referring to the buttons and switches in the cockpit simulations? Firstly, it depends upon which aircraft simulation you are using - some of them, like the Cessna 172 are well-supported, and others have less complete support. Most of the commercially available plane simulations for X-Plane have very well-equipped simulations Then, what do you mean "do what they are supposed to do". Switches for flaps, and turning on an off lights etc normally are pretty realistic. Some of the more complex GPS navigational equipment is not 100% identical in function to the equipment in the real aircraft, but most normal users are unlikely to be affected by that. Most radio navigational equipment works as expected. Generally X-Plane cockpit simulations are pretty good.

I tried it once...never again. Even if you feel no wind, it will probably drift away. Also the infra red sensor is at the rear facing aftwards and will soon loose contact with the transmistter, especially when the heli is facing you (the sensor is facing away from you). The infra red control works very well indoors because the IR light from the transmitter probably reflects off the walls/ceiling, but it can not do that outdoors.

Yes, there is an on and off switch. Also a separate button to turn on the oscillating function.

Yes. There is a on & off button. Therefore, you can keep this feature on/off.

You can't. Manual says there is a switch on the copter but there isn't one...

It's really difficult to get the pilot going sometimes. I think it has something to do with auto shut off when the thing tilts even in the slightest. Frustrating for me as well!

To Kilimandjaro: The CH Products Flightstic, Pro USB, does not have the 'force feedback' feature. Ron K

Yes only for the cyclics. Rudder resets to center every time you turn it off

You set the camera mode before takeoff to video or still. Then at any time you press a button on the transmitter to start the video or take a photo. I leave the video on the whole time even across landings and get 15 minutes of flight and video. It uses the helicopter battery. The video is not HD, maybe 640 x 480 not sure, but it is high quality. I only wish I could point it straight forward instead of down.

It uses two thumb-sticks, and several toggle switches. Definitely takes practice if you have never flown an RC plane before.

Not the settings, but yes you can manually override the mission while flying to full manual control with the remote

Yes to the first question. There is no hover default so hang on to the controls. If I were to purchase this again I would charge the battery while in the copter even though the instructions say don't do this.

The camera is independent from the transmitter and the on/off procedure is awkward and primitive. The camera is activated manually by a tiny button (push once) on the side of the quad.. The button (pushed again) turns the camera off. It's video only. No still photos.
